His son is a righthander who bats lefty and has changed his swing several times, almost never taking advice from his father. If he’s going to be stubborn about it, he should be forced to hit righthanded. He’d probably hit better if somebody turned him around.

Gwynn Sr tops Jr in BA by .94, OBP by .76 and slugging by .141 You’re not far off!

It would probably be best to not pretend he can even come close to filling them.

Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:44:53 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=189789#comment-342543I came on to defend Gwynn JR, but then I noticed he only has 16 walks in 277 plate appearances which is terrible for someone with speed who’s job should be to get on base and score runs. So then I changed my mind about defending him since if you have no pop you should at least be able to get on base and score.
